So how bad of an idea would a Duralast alternator be? |

Under $50 with a core returned....if the darn thing works it's awfully cost effective.

It has been a long time. But I remember buying an AZ alt. Never installed it and returned it. The cooling tins and other things, like maybe the electrical connection (just can't remember for sure) just don't fit. I think the elec post actually hit the tin. The edges of the back of the alt are not the same as OEM, so the tin did not seal up.
Best I can remember. So I went with rebuilt. Gathered up a few so called dead ones when possible and took them to my rebuild guy. Now I have a few spares that have been re-built. |
